Navarro’s body was located at about 1:15 p.m. Sunday just under the surface of the water about 20 feet from the bank and about 75 feet south of where his vehicle was pulled out of the Myrtle Grove Canal on Friday.

The only trauma noted to Navarro’s body was a small laceration under his left eye, officials say.

An autopsy will be conducted tomorrow at the Jefferson Parish Forensic Center to determine the cause and manner of death.

According to the sheriff’s office, Navarro was driving in Myrtle Grove about 10:30 p.m. Thursday and crashed into the water.

Authorities said Navarro called a friend for help, saying he drove his truck, a white 2011 Dodge Ram, into the water and the truck was filling up with water and he couldn’t open the doors.

Navarro’s friend arrived shortly after the call and searched for Navarro without success, authorities said.

According to a news release from the sheriff’s office, the caller told authorities that Navarro had been drinking alcohol and it likely led to his impairment, causing the crash.
